Wawa's Northern Nationals Drag Race Called Off for 2nd Year Due to COVID-19

Wawa's Northern Nationals Drag Race is staying off the track for another year.

Community Services and Tourism Director Alex Patterson describes it as more of a postponement than a cancellation, pointing to issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Patterson assures - however - that it "isn't a complete lost cause".

The 2020 drag race was also called off due to the pandemic, though Patterson expresses hope for a return next year.

Council was apprised of the decision earlier this week, as they approved plans to end curling season early - so the curling rink can be used for COVID-19 vaccination clinics - while extending arena ice until April 1st.
